Boy howdy, that were some trip.
I left Sinton to go pick up my mail......in Port Aransas. Before leaving, a check of the online "ferry" cam indicated minimal traffic. Right!!! By the time I got close to the Island, traffic was backed up for bout a mile down to the first causeway bridge.
Oh look, we in a ferry line.
And there's more behind us.
Traffic was mov'n right along and 30 minutes later me an' Sadie Mae was in the middle of the ship channel on a 20 car ferry boat.
Picked up 2 months worth of mail an' headed to the beach. I was expect'n 5 mile a hour "spring break" beach traffic, but there weren't none. Where the hell all the kids???
Port Aransas has always been a destination for spring breakers 'cause they can get away with most "anything". Ya should have seen it back in the early '90s when Joan Jett was to appear in concert on the beach. It was estimated up to 100,000, or more, were in attendance.
Yeah, the old Billy Bob was there. Shoot, I were a young feller back then. Get me in a crowd like that now an' I gonna be look'n for the first exit.
After I left the island, I made a quick stop on Hwy 361 to visit an nice lady I met at the "slabs" a few year ago. She is camped there with her crew Charlie and a damn black cat for the winter months till it gets too hot an' humid to endure any longer. We had a nice visit, but I think Sadie Mae was gonna bite her. Crazy dog don't remember Susan.
Then I hit the local Walmart with my grocery list in hand. Holy crap, I done buy me up a whole basket full of stuff.
Then it was off to the local Churches chicken sell'n place for a box of chicken an' jalapenos. Be eat'n chicken for the next three days I betcha.
Back at "el Rancho Abraham" right bout 6pm, I decided to move "Sally da house" to her new camp site.
"Damn Billy Bob, ya put the 50 amp plug in backards".
Since the OFM Barney has made it back to the gulf coast, I rekon I better clean the rust off'n my golf ball swak'n clubs. I know he gonna want to win me another game an' I'm will'n to accommodate him.
Welcome back Barney.

Hmm no crowds at the beach? seems kinda strange, where did all that traffic go?
ReplyDeleteFound out that this is the first week of spring breakers. Mostly local schools.
DeleteYou put the plug in backward? Does that mean it is now 05 amps? OH yes, you put it in upside down. Better turn it around so the cable hangs straight down and you can close the cover. Of course you know all this, I just didn't have anything else to say. . .
ReplyDeleteActually Dizzy, I installed the 50 amp plug horizontal.....and backards.
DeleteI think we need a pic of that BB...
DeleteYep I will be ready bout Monday for you to whup my backside at golf.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan.
DeleteHey BB I was just talking to my neighbor. He showed me a pic of the two limits of specks and one limit of reds with one tagged red that they caught yesterday at that last bridge before the ferry. Should have been fishing instead of sittin in line it looks like.
ReplyDeleteThat's the area I want to launch the "bubba boat".
DeleteI love ferry rides no matter how long I have to wait in line. Been known to drive down to Galveston just for that.
ReplyDeleteThe kids must be in Cancun taking advantage of the low currency exchange rates.
Every trip I make to Galveston, I ride the ferry too. You knew I used to live in Galveston....right???
DeleteBB, it makes absolutely no sense why they don't let people fish from the ferry.
DeleteI bet all them Spring-Breakers followed Barney OFM to Big Bend and jammed up the campgrounds there! So that is why he snuck back fast to spend nice quiet time with you! LOL

Every year there's debate noisy . December as to whether customers have started shopping early, or are leaving it until later. Lastly is leather, which is accustomed to make bracelets. You want a piece durable and stable enough to withstand constant use.
